Technology Consultancy
Siemens offers Technology Consultancy for the complete life cycle of a communication network, from setting up a complete new communication infrastructure until the migration of the existing network towards new technologies.

The set up of a
new communication network is required often in the backhaul area of the distribution networks, where currently stand alone transformer stations (Ring main units, RMUs) have to be integrated into utilities communication network. Because environment differs widely, it is crucial, that the right mix of the various communication technologies is deployed.

Network Optimization is related mostly to improvements regarding
capacity, latency, data routing, technology mix and quality. These improvements are based on a performance analysis based on KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) of the relevant network part in order to reach suitable quality targets for the energy applications.

Examples are:

the enhancement of existing networks in order to implement new services like metering rollouts including the data transfer/collection in distribution networks

the development of customers network towards new technologies in order to cope with new service classes.

In order to avoid the risk of possible network failures resulting from future maintenance- or network expansion works, we offer a
failure and risk analysis which consists of:

review of technical system architecture

description of processes for upgrade and other major system modifications

elaboration of security concept on network level and maintenance tasks

Proof of conceptSiemens offers to prove the feasibility of customer’s telecommunication network concepts, for example, for the preparation of a planned mass rollout of communication equipment.

Our Service includes:

Network feasibility study

Verification of customer’s environment

Analysis of the customer’s Infrastructure and preparation for deployment

Interoperability LabSiemens offers testing of complete end-to-end (e2e) communication solutions including 3rd parties products at Siemens or customers premises. We are using mature test management framework, labs and services based on established telecommunication testing models.

Our Service includes:

Test Interoperability of all used telecommunication network components and technologies.

Test end-to-end performance of all used applications across all components and technologies.

Benefits

Siemens as technological leader is a member of all important standardization committees and guarantees future proof investment decisions. Our network consulting services provide overall comprehensive communication solutions, based on geographical, technological and regulatory customer requirements.
The proof of concept service confirms the customer’s overall concept and reduces planning and budget risks.
Our interoperability lab ensures tested end-to-end solutions across different components and technologies. This is a precondition for cost optimized mass rollouts of new applications.
